Sadly, Brazil will most likely win the cup, they have an easy division, and the Argies, and English and Spain are not up to the challenge, nor France. USA is in a killer division with the highly rated Czech Republic and eternal quality side from Italy and the pretty good Ghana.
As far as the rest of 06, I would start a Death Pool thread, but last time I tried it got pulled.
Weenies.
I agree that Brazil will probably win. They are just to dang awesome. BTW, Did you see the group that Germany pulled? Man they got it easy. I really hope America does well.
